My brother’s words cut through my excuses. “You should see the world,” he said. I knew he was right. But traveling felt like something unreal. I was tired of backpackers talking about their fantastic trips. Then, my Greek best friend Jason reminded me of our promise: to visit his hometown in Athens.
Before long, I found myself on a plane flying over an ocean I’d never crossed, excited but worried about what would happen once we landed. The long wait proved worth it. Every step through the ancient streets of Athens brought new wonders. However, what I experienced later changed my thoughts of travel.
While we were walking, a strange sound caught our attention, and broke the quietness of the street. Curious, we followed the sound. Around the corner, rose a simple workshop — its roof covered with traditional bricks and the door rolled up high. Inside, common tools shone with uncommon beauty. A heavy silence filled the air as time slowed down, giving me the space to notice every little detail.
Lost in his work, the welder (焊工) paid no attention to us. All that was visible was his short hair and the body hardened by years spent at the workshop. His hands expertly worked the metal as if he were a magician creating sparks and flames. As the man continued, I was full of admiration. I admired his peace and satisfaction. I longed for the simplicity he showed. The moment moved me to tears. The sight was more attractive than any ancient building or artistic masterpiece.
Since returning back home, I look for meaning not in the grand (宏伟的), but in the simplest of moments — the ordinary made extraordinary. Happiness lies not in collecting passport stamps or material wealth, but in finding satisfaction within yourself. There is always beauty waiting to be discovered.
4. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1
A. He had a lot in common with his brother.
B. He didn’t show much interest in travelling.

The writer Patricia Pearson had expressed her longing for a more carefree life for children. I also have memories of a carefree childhood: of biking without a helmet (头盔), going through the woods to the beach, walking all over my neighborhood at any time of day or night, without any fear or concern. Unfortunately, for our children, the lifestyle we enjoyed no longer exists. The way we were able to play and relate to others has changed greatly. There is more traffic, and there are simply more people and fewer connections, even among neighbors. Therefore, helmets, sunscreen, life jackets are required nowadays because they keep our children safe. And when my son and his friends fell off their bikes, I was grateful that their heads were protected.
The facts about anxiety in children are clear. In my opinion, anxiety in children comes from overscheduling, and ignorance of a child’s interests by parents. Parents spend less and less time with their kids and expect more and more out of them. Moms and Dads, put your cellphones down and build castles with your child. Let your kid frost a cookie without instructing him on what color it should be, where the eyes go and not to “mess it up”. Kids love to be creative and independent and to learn new things; most of all, they love it when you tell them you’re proud of them.
While I understand Patricia Pearson’s reasons for missing the good old times, I do not believe you can honestly compare two generations without putting it into the context of today’s world, because we live in an environment that breaks bad news across the globe 24 hours a day. A world in which skin cancer claims the lives of thousands each year, mostly as a result of sun exposure before their 18th birthday.
Yes, the world has changed, and not necessarily for the better. So, why should we hate a little sunscreen After all, it is the care from parents and has never hurt anybody.
8. What are children nowadays most likely to do according to paragraph 1
A. They play late in night without permission.
B. They use sunscreen if they are in the sunlight.
C. They are free to ride a bike without protection.
D. They have close relationship with their neighbors.
9. According to the author, responsible parents should ________.
A. make decisions for children
B. spend quality time with children
C. plan daily activities for children
D. set high standards for children
10. What does the author think of the two generations
A. They share the similar lifestyles.
B. They are faced with health challenges.
C. Their attitudes towards their parents are hugely divided.
D. Differences in their childhood result from social changes.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Changes in lifestyle have taken place.
B. Care is necessary to live a carefree life.
C. Memories are brought back to the writer.
D. Too much anxiety puts children in danger.
D
Scientists have discovered that climate change is killing the scent(香味)of flowers and their scent may be lost forever. Climate change is also the reason Kuala Lumpur City Hall is turning to trees, because flowers have been dying fast. It was getting too costly to beautify the city. City Hall would continue to plant trees more suited for breathing in the increasing pollution and dealing with global warming. Dr. Abdul Latif Mohamad, a professor at University Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM), said genetically modified(转基因)flowers might be the way out.
Latif said UKM might have offered reasons as to why some insects were not spreading flower seeds, which was caused by the missing “scent track” due to global warming. “The scent producing chemical mixture in flowers dry up faster now compared with before.” The only way out, he said, was to genetically modify the flowers so that the effects would not be everlasting and the future generation would enjoy nature’s beauty. “The act is almost like producing oils from flowers. Scientists add on certain chemicals for stronger scent.” He said scents in flowers last longer in colder climates as plants can hold on to their oils longer.
“But locally, we fear the scent might be lost forever,” said Latif. With flowers sending forth less scent, the insects and butterflies are travelling further and longer to get nectar(花蜜). Birds and insects were heading towards hilly areas and deeper into the places where the weather is cooler. Upon research, Latif’s team also discovered that the flowers were no longer pollinated(授粉)after dust blocked the growth of stigmas(柱头).
Latif said Malaysians could no longer depend on nature to get better by itself without the help of science, and needed to follow in the footsteps of Europe and the United States, which have poured millions in the research of genetically modified seeds.
12. What happens to the flowers
A. Their prices get higher.
B. They are not as sweet as before.
C. They replace trees to beautify the city.
D. They can’t survive the heavy pollution.
13. What do the underlined words “The act” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. To spread flower seeds. B. To find scent track.
C. To genetically modify the flowers. D. To enjoy nature’s beauty.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Challenges lie ahead for local flowers.
B. Scientists’ research brings hope to flowers.
C. Insects change their habits in cold weather.
D. The heavy dust is a problem to flowers.
15. What does Latif suggest people do
A. Follow the laws of nature.
B. Make the most of science.
C. Raise money for research.
D. Protect local environment.

【答案】 In my life, many things have happened, most of which are fleeting, but there is one thing that remains impressive to me.
I still remember it happened on a sunny day when I was a middle school student. I went to the Forbidden City with my parents. When we were enjoying the places of interest, we met several foreigners who asked me if I could act as a guide to tell them the history of China in English. I was a little nervous because I was afraid that I couldn’t do it well, but my parents encouraged me to have a try. It finally turned out that they could understand me and they praised my English. I was more confident of my English from then on.
Their words motivated me. I swear to study English hard and let people all over the world know China better.
